They are clearly old by their height. They have large heart-shaped leaves and small white flowers that resemble irises. They also have long, brown pods that hang down after the flowers have dropped. Their main branches shoot almost straight up, but the secondary branches fan outwards and downwards, twigs pointing towards the ground. They look like they should grow in a tropical climate, but they are blooming all over Provo. And I do not know what they are called. If you know what type of tree this is, please comment. I'm on a treasure hunt!

I think I found it. Try this:

It's called a Catalpa, I believe, and it's from Ohio. Huh! Who knew?
And if that isn't it, try this site:

Wow! You guys are great! It looks like it might be a Catalpa! Cool, Cathryn! I love the site you found, too, Leigh. But I need to look at the tree more closely to be able to do the classification.
Ha ha. Yeah, that's why I didn't do it. I think it might be a Catalpa, too.
